Helix Folding Bicycle


WEIGHING IN AT 9.57 KG and folding down to the size of its wheels, Canadian-made Helix is one of the lightest and most compact folding bikes available on the market. The one-piece titanium frame offers strength and durability, while the spring-loaded locking system offers increased safety. You’re guaranteed a snug fit and a fatigue-resistant and sturdy ride. Want to go electric? Helix can easily be


converted with the addition of a standard, third-party peddle-assist kit with up to 250 W of power (anything higher voids the warranty). Check with the manufacturer to find recommended models.


Available in three configurations: single speed (US$1,500), 10-speed derailleur (US$1,600) and 11-speed internal gear hub (US$1,900). www.ridehelix.ca — Alan Vintar
